INTRODUCTION

As the President’s chief message-crafting body, the Presidential Communications Development
and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO), is mandated to provide strategic communication leadership
and support to the Executive Branch, its composite agencies, and instrumentalities of government.

The PCDSPO is also mandated to act as custodian of the institutional memory of the Office of
the President. One of our projects is the continuation of the series of books called the Messages of the
President, started in 1936 by Jorge B. Vargas, Executive Secretary to President Manuel L. Quezon.
The series was a wide collection of executive issuances, speeches, messages, and other official papers
of the President. The volumes were intended to serve as the definitive compilation of presidential
documents. The series was continued until the Quirino administration, although the series for the
Presidential administrations of Presidents Quezon, Roxas, and Quirino were never completed.

In 2010, President Benigno S. Aquino III ordered the revival of the series and the constitution of a
complete set, covering all 15 presidential administrations. With pride, we continue what Vargas began.

We would like to extend our gratitude to our partners for without whose gracious cooperation,
this project would have not been possible.

A note on organization: Each presidential administration’s messages are in book form, compiled
and subdivided into volumes. The books are as follows:

Book 1: Emilio Aguinaldo
Book 2: Jose P. Laurel
Book 3: Manuel L. Quezon
Book 4: Sergio Osmena
Book 5: Manuel Roxas
Book 6: Elpidio Quirino
Book 7: Ramon Magsaysay
Book 8: Carlos P. Garcia
Book 9: Diosdado Macapagal
Book 10: Ferdinand E. Marcos
Book 11: Corazon C. Aquino
Book 12: Fidel V. Ramos
Book 13: Joseph Ejercito Estrada
Book 14: Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
Book 15: Benigno S. Aquino III

Each book is subdivided into the following volumes:

Volume 1: Official Weeks/Months in Review
Volume 2: Appointments and Designations
Volume 3: Historical Papers and Documents
Volume 4: Executive Orders
Volume 5: Administrative Orders
Volume 6: Proclamations

MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT

MACAPAGAL | Volume 4

Volume 7: Other issuances
Volume 8: Cabinet minutes

We hope that this collection will be a useful and vital reference for generations to come.

PREFACE

On July 30, 2010, President Benigno S. Aquino III issued Executive Order No. 4, which effectively
renamed what was previously called the Malacanang Museum into the Presidential Museum and
Library (PML) and placed it under the supervision and control of the Presidential Communications
Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO). The PML is responsible for preserving,
managing, and promoting the history and heritage of the Philippine presidency. It is the principal
historical and artistic repository in support of the institution of the presidency, for the benefit of
the Republic and the Lilipino people. In partnership with the PCDSPO, which has pioneered the
publication of the Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines as a web archive and information
website, the PML has taken this mandate and placed it on the cutting edge of the information age.

Much has been done over the past years, under the administration of President Aquino III, to
digitize executive issuances, speeches, letters, and other presidential papers; and publish them online.
The project is not limited to a single administration, nor does it discriminate. This collection, published
as databases, as well as print and e-publications, includes documents from the presidency of Emilio
Aguinaldo to the current Aquino administration. This represents the government’s allegiance to
transparency, continuity, and the fostering of an informed citizenry, as well as an effort, in earnest, to
preserve the institutional memory of the Presidency. All this was done not just for the posterity, but for
the current generation and the ongoing task of nation building.

The PML are proud partners of the Official Gazette and PCDSPO team, to whom we made the
collections available. We sincerely hope that this series will serve as a vital reference to educators,
students, journalists, lawyers, historians, and the public at large.

FOREWORD

This is the fourth volume of President Diosdado Macapagal’s official papers, which constitutes

Secretary Jorge B. Vargas, during the first year in office of Manuel L. Quezon, the first President of
the Commonwealth of the Philippines. This volume collects President Macapagal’s Executive Orders,
which provide for rules of a general or permanent character in implementation or execution of
constitutional or statutory powers.

PRESIDENT DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL

President Diosdado Macapagal was the ninth President of the Philippines and was the fifth
President of the Third Republic. He assumed office on December 30, 1961 after defeating Carlos P.
Garcia in the 1961 elections and was President until December 30, 1965.

The Executive Issuances of President Diosdado Macapagal began with Executive Order No. 1,
signed on December 30, 1961 and ended with Executive Order No. 299; Administrative Order No.
188; and Proclamation No. 525 which were signed on December 29, 1965.

President Diosdado Macapagal’s documents were gathered from its official sources such as the
Official Gazette of the Philippines; Malacanang Records Office’s Book of Executive Issuances; and the
Fullness of Freedom: Speeches and Statements of President Diosdado Macapagal.

The American Psychological Association (APA) style was used for the citation. The titles that have
been provided by the researchers are enclosed in square brackets, considering that the exact wordings
and its order were not verbatim from the document being described. Book titles are italicized while
the speech titles are not. If in any case that the book title is the same as the title of the speech, it is
transcribed in italics because it is the book title.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 6

ADOPTING A PROGRAM TO STABILIZE THE PRICE OF PALAY, RICE, AND CORN, AND
CREATING A PRESIDENTIAL RICE AND CORN COMMITTEE TO IMPLEMENT AND

EXECUTE THAT PROGRAM

Whereas, rice and corn are the basic food of our people, and any sudden or unwarranted increase
in their prices affects the prices of all other basic commodities and services.

Whereas, the people have expressed the mandate that the prices of rice and corn be stabilized
at a level that is within the reach of the masses of our people while at the same time affording our
farmers, growers, and producers a fair and just return for their labor and capital investment sufficient
to induce them to engage in a more intensified and .scientific production;

Whereas, existing agencies charged with the duty of stabilizing the price of rice and corn and
preventing scarcities due to seasonal or artifical causes have proven themselves to be in adequate to
discharging properly their duty;

Now, therefore, by virtue of the powers in me vested by the Constitution and laws of the
land, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President of the Philippines, do hereby declare that the Government of
the : Republic shall, in order to stabilize the price of palay and corn, engage in the purchase of these
basic foods from farmers, growers, and producers at a price that will afford them a fair and just return
for their labor and capital investments and induce them to a more intensive and scientific production,
and whenever circumstances brought about by any cause, natural or artifical, should so require, shall
sell and dispose of these commodities to the consumers at areas of consumption at a price that is
within their easy reach, regardless of whether that sale price be below cost of acquisition.

To implement and execute this program, there is hereby created a committee, to be known as
the Presidential Rice and Corn Committee, in whom is hereby vested all powers rights, and authority
sanctioned by law to achieve the success of this vital program, including, but not limited to, the
following:

1. To fix and announce, from time to time, the price at which the government shall purchase and
procure palay, rice, and corn from farmers and producers and their cooperatives, which price shall
be such as to afford them a fair and just return for their labor and capital investments and maintain
decent standards of living;

2. To fix and announce, from time to time, regardless of whether any particular operation
may result in a loss, the price at which the palay, rice, and corn thus acquired shall be sold by the
Government to the consuming public at areas of consumption, provided that the price fixed shall be
within easy reach of the masses of our people;

3. To designate any government agency, office, corporation, or other instrumentality now existing
or which may hereafter be created as the agent or agents to make purchases of these commodities for

OFFICIAL GAZETTE

MACAPAGAL | Volume 4

the Government, and to determine and regulate the manner in which the purchase shall be made, the
place, where the commodities so purchased shall be stored, and the means by which said purchases
shall be financed;

4. To designate any government agency, office, corporation, or other instrumentality now existing
or which may hereafter be created as the selling agent of the commodities purchased, and to determine,
regulate, and fix the distribution and sale of the said commodity;

5. To coordinate, supervise, direct, and control the activities of all existing governmental agencies
and to coordinate with private entities engaged in the production, procurement, and distribution of
rice, corn, and palay to provide incentives to farmers, growers, and producers;

6. To exercise such other powers and to issue such rules and regulations as may be necessary
to carry out these purposes or effectively implement and execute the rice and corn program hereby
adopted.

The Committee shall be composed of a chairman and two members to be designated by the
President, may draw such personnel, equipment, supplies, and other facilities necessary for its operation
from the Office of the President or from any department, office, bureau, or any other instrumentality of
the government.

ENJOINING ALL OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE
GOVERNMENT TO COOPERATE IN THE DRIVE AGAINST SMUGGLED PRODUCTS AND TO
DESIST FROM BUYING POSSESSING, OR USING THEM, AND APPEALING TO THE PUBLIC

FOR COOPERATION.

Whereas, for some years now, there have been rampant smuggling and illicit trading in smuggled
products such as “blue seal” cigarettes;

Whereas, the smuggling and traffic in smuggled products could not long continue if our people
voluntarily desisted from purchasing, possessing, or using smuggled products such as “blue seal”
cigarettes;

Whereas, the smuggling and traffic in smuggled products have deprived the Government of
millions of pesos in revenue and in the case of “blue seal” cigarettes, have caused tremendous losses to
Filipino tobacco growers and cigarette manufacturers;

Whereas, in addition, the traffic in smuggled products has produced the even more serious effect
of breeding in our people, particularly in the young, a disrespect for law;

Now, therefore, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers
vested in me by law, do hereby enjoin all public officials and employees to cooperate to the fullest
extent with the Government in its current drive against the flagrant and unabated smuggling and sale
of smuggled products such as “blue seal” cigarettes, and especially to desist from buying, possessing,
or using smuggled products such as “blue seal” cigarettes, thereby providing an example of respect and
obedience to law for the general public.

Any violation of this order by any official or employee shall be a ground for disciplinary action.

I appeal to the general public for cooperation with this campaign against smuggling of goods into
the country which is pernicious to the national economy and to the people’s general welfare.

CREATING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE COLLEGE OF THE
ARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES

Whereas, the need for a National Defense College to conduct continuing and intensive studies of
the diversified problems relative to national defense has long been felt in our Armed Forces;

Whereas, the preparation of mobilization plans involving the financial, industrial, economic, social,
and moral forces and resources of the nation does not fall exclusively on the Department of National
Defense but must be shared equally by the other Executive Departments of the Government; and

Whereas, the Philippines, after its almost two decades of political independence, does not yet have
an educational institution dedicated to the specific mission of training military leaders and civilian
executives for top positions of leadership in the Department of National Defense, the National Security
Council, and other Executive Departments of the Government, which they may be called upon to fill in

Sapagka’t ang pagpapaunlad at pagpapalaganap ng Wikang Pambansang Pilipino ay isa sa mga
pangarap ng mga bayani ng lahi bukod pa sa ito’y itinatadhana sa Saligang-Batas ng ating Republika;

Sapagka’t ang ilang pangyayaring nagaganap dito sa ating kapuluan, lalung-lalo na sa ibang
bansa bagay sa pag-awit sa wikang banyaga ng ating Pambansang Awit ay lubhang kapansin-pansin at
hindi naaayon sa diwa ng ating pagkabansa; at

Sapagka’t ang Wikang Pilipino ay isa na sa ating mga wikang pampamahalaan.

Dahil dito, akong si Diosdado Macapagal, Pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas, sa bisa ng
kapangyarihang ipinagkakaloob sa akin ng batas at bilang pagbibigay-buhay sa layunin ng Saligang-
Batas at ng Batas ng Komonwelt Big. 570, ay nagpapahayag at nag-utos sa pamamagitan nito na ang

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 62
CREATING THE RICE AND CORN AUTHORITY

Whereas, there are at present numerous government agencies charged with interrelated functions
relative to the stabilization of the rice and corn industries, and the production, procurement, and
distribution of these staple commodities;

Whereas, this diffusion of functions and responsibilities without an immediate unifying authority
has led to confused, unintegrated measures which slow down or frustrate government efforts to insure
constantly for the public an ample supply of rice and corn at prices within their reach; and

Whereas, there is a real necessity for a coordinating agency to unify and integrate the
administration and implementation of existing laws, rules, and regulations on rice and corn;

Now, therefore, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers
vested in me by law, do hereby create the Rice and Corn Authority under the Office of the President
composed of the following officials who shall attend in person the meetings and deliberations of said
body:

The Secretary of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Chairman

The Rice and Corn Administrator

The Chairman of the Rice and Corn Board

The Chairman of the National Economic Council

The Assistant Executive Secretary on Economic Affairs

The Rice and Corn Authority shall have such personnel as may be assigned or detailed to it from
departments, bureaus, offices, and instrumentalities of the Government.

It shall have the following functions and powers:

(a) It shall supervise and coordinate the programs and policies of the various government agencies
charged with the administration and implementation of existing laws, rules, and regulations concerning
the production, procurement, distribution, and supply of rice and corn, and the stabilization of the rice
and corn industries.

(b) It shall make studies and draft of a long-range program calculated to develop and stabilize the
rice and corn industries and to achieve national self-sufficiency in these staple commodities.

(c) It shall have the authority to call on any department, bureau, office, agency, or instrumentality
of the Government for such assistance or information as it may need in the discharge of its function.

(d) It shall prepare and draft legislative proposals designed to improve existing laws on rice and

corn.

AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL MUSEUM TO ISSUE RULES AND
REGULATIONS REGARDING THE EXPORTATION OF ANTIQUES

Whereas, recent archaeological and anthropological findings of the National Museum have
focused attention on, and generated interest in, Philippine cultural artifacts and historical relics in and

REVISING EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 321, DATED JUNE 12, 1950, ENTITLED
“PRESCRIBING THE CODE OF THE NATIONAL FLAG AND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES”

Reverence and respect for the accepted symbols of national solidarity are indicative of true
patriotism and love of country. In order to develop and consecrate such sublime virtues and to inculcate
in the minds of our people a just pride in their native land, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President of the
Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby prescribe the following rules for the
observance of the National Flag and the National Anthem of the Republic of the Philippines:

I. THE NATIONAL FLAG

1. The National Flag alone shall be displayed in all public buildings, official residences, public
squares, and institutions of learning every day throughout the year, and shall be raised at sunrise and
lowered at sundown. It should be on the mast at the break of day, should remain flying throughout the
day but shall not stay flying after the sun has set, except when specially prescribed. The flagstaff must
be straight, slightly and gently tapering at the end.

2. The Flag shall be permanently hoisted, day and night, in front of the following: at Malacanang,

the official residence of the President of the Philippines; the Congress of the Philippines building;

Supreme Court building; at the Rizal Monument in Luneta; and at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,
Libingan ng mga Bayani.

3. The Flag should never be used to return the salute of any individual or organization. It should
never be dipped by way of compliment or salute to or for any person, except when used for exchanging
courtesy as an official act between States.

4. The Flag, if flown from a flagpole, should have its blue field on top in time of peace and the

red field on top in time of war; if in a hanging position, the blue field should be to the right (left of the

observer) in time of peace, and the red field, to the right (left of the observer) in time of war.

5. In hoisting the Flag, it should be raised briskly to the top-end of the flagpole which, if planted
on the ground, should be at a prominent place and higher than the roof of the principal building in the
compound, or of such height as would give the Flag a commanding position within the compound. If
the pole is attached to a building, it should be on top of its roof, and if placed at a window, it must
project to an angle pointing upward.

6. When the National Flag is used together with the flag of the Armed Forces or civil organization
or with that of another nation, it must always be above or on the right of the other flag. When the

256

OFFICIAL GAZETTE

MACAPAGAL | Volume 4

National Flag is displayed in a parade with those of foreign nations, it shall always be in front of the
center of the line of the other flags.

7. When the Flag is passing in a parade or in review, the people, if walking, should halt, uncover,
stand at attention and salute; if sitting, they should uncover, stand at attention and salute.

8. The Flag shall be displayed on national holidays or special holidays as the President may
proclaim not only in all public buildings, official residences, public squares, and institutions of learning
but, whenever practicable, also in all private buildings and homes from sunrise to sunset.

9. The public display of foreign flags is prohibited except in foreign diplomatic establishments
such as in chanceries, embassies, consulates, or other places authorized by bilateral or international
agreement, or in international conferences of which the Philippines is a member, or in national holidays
of foreign countries, provided that on such foreign national holidays the foreign flag shall be displayed
together with the National Flag, which shall occupy the place of honor, i.e., on the right of the foreign
flag, and shall not be smaller than the foreign flag.

10. The Philippine National Flag shall not be hoisted or displayed in front of buildings owned or
occupied by alien individuals or corporations except on our national and special holidays or on their
national holidays, subject, in the latter case, to the provisions of the next preceding paragraph.

11. When lowering the Flag, no part thereof should touch the ground. It should be handled and
folded reverently. While the Flag is being raised or lowered and while the National Anthem is being
played, the people should face the Flag, uncover, stand at attention and salute. Moving vehicles should
stop, and the passengers should alight, uncover, stand at attention and salute.

12. The Flag may be hoisted at half-mast in sign of mourning. To display the Flag at half-mast, it
must first be hoisted to full-mast, allowing it to fly there for a moment before bringing it to half-mast.
From this position it may be raised but not lowered. To lower the Flag at sunset or at any other time
when ordered, it must again be hoisted to full-mast before bringing it down. The Flag may be hoisted
at half-mast by authority of the President in cases of national mourning or on such other occasions as
he may designate, or at the discretion of Department Heads or chief local officials in accordance with
the regulations prescribed in Executive Order No. 166, dated October 8, 1938, as amended.

13. The Flag shall never be festooned, and shall always hang with nothing to cover its surface. It
shall always occupy the highest place of honor and shall not be placed under any picture, or below a
person.

14. The Flag shall never be used as a staff or whip, or covering for tables, or curtain for doorways.
However, the Flag may be used by the Armed Forces to cover the casket of their honored dead, which
includes deceased civilians who had rendered services in the Army, Navy, or civil office of great
responsibility. The white triangle of the sun and stars will cover the head end of the casket, the blue
stripe to the right, the red to the left of the deceased, with both colors evenly divided on each side of
the casket. The Flag should never be lowered to the grave or allowed to touch the ground, except as
authorized under Republic Act No. 3934. Wreaths of flowers should not be placed on top of a flag-
shrouded casket. A cross may be placed over the Flag as a symbol of “God above Country.”

15. No imprint shall be made on the Flag nor shall it be marred by advertisement, or in any
manner desecrated. It shall not be worn as a whole or part of a costume. It shall not be used as a
pennant in the hood or in any part of a motor vehicle except in celebration of any national or special
holiday as the President may designate.

16. It is inappropriate to use the Flag in a dancing pavilion or in any place where hilarity is
prevailing. Its use inside or outside a cockpit, club, or other places where gambling or other vices are
held is prohibited.

257

MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT

MACAPAGAL | Volume 4

know it by heart.

4. The National Anthem should always be sung in Filipino, whether here or abroad.

m. MANNER OF SALUTING

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 146

ENJOINING ALL OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE
GOVERNMENT TO COOPERATE IN THE DRIVE AGAINST SMUGGLED PRODUCTS AND TO
DESIST FROM BUYING, POSSESSING OR USING THEM AND APPEALING TO THE PUBLIC

FOR COOPERATION

WHEREAS, for some years now, there have been rampant smuggling and illicit tracking in
smuggled products such as “blue seal” and PX cigarettes;

WHEREAS, the smuggling and traffic in smuggled products could not long continue if our people
voluntarily desisted from purchasing, possessing or using smuggled products such as “blue seal” and
PX cigarettes;

WHEREAS, the smuggling and traffic in smuggled products have deprived the Government
of millions of pesos in lawful revenue and, in the case of “blue seal” and PX cigarettes, have caused
tremendous losses to Filipino tobacco growers and cigarette manufacturers;

WHEREAS, in addition, the traffic in smuggled products has produced the even more serious
effect of breeding in our people, particularly the young, a disrespect for law; and

WHEREAS, Republic Act No. 4097, amending Section 174 of the National Internal Revenue
Code, as amended, penalizes by fine of not less than ten times the amount of the specific tax due on the
articles found but not less than P200 nor more than P5,000 and by imprisonment of from 4 months
and 1 day to 4 years and 2 months possession by a person of articles subject to specific tax which has
not been paid in accordance with law or articles which are exempt from specific tax other than those
to whom the same is lawfully issued.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the
powers vested in me by law, do hereby enjoin all officers and employees of the Executive Branch of the
Government to cooperate to the fullest extent in the current drive against the flagrant and unabated
smuggling and sale of smuggled products such as “blue seal” and PX cigarettes, and especially to desist
from buying, possessing or using smuggled products such as “blue seal” and PX cigarettes, thereby
setting an example of respect and obedience to law for the general public.

Any violation of this order by any such officer or employee shall be a ground for the taking of
administrative action against him and the imposition of severe penalty.

I appeal to the general public to cooperate in this campaign against smuggling of goods by
desisting from buying, possessing or using “blue seal” and PX cigarettes, the same being pernicious to
the national economy and to the people’s general welfare.

This supersedes Executive Order No. 7 dated March 22, 1962.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 229

CREATING THE PHILIPPINE LAND REFORM FOUNDATION

Whereas, the Agricultural Land Reform Code of 1963 recognized the imperative need for
recasting the social structure of the Philippine agricultural society to lay the foundation and sow the
seeds of a peaceful revolution;

Whereas, a vigorous implementation of the Philippine Land reform could not be carried out
entirely within the administration of one President;

Whereas, the limited tenure of Philippine leaders presents difficulties in achieving sustained and
unrelenting land reform; and

Whereas, participation of the private sector in land reform can be made the common
denominator of changing administrations and government policies;

Now, therefore, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers
vested in me by law, do hereby create the Philippine Land Reform Foundation.

1. The policy-making body of the Foundation shall be the Board of Trustees composed of a
Chairman and six Members to be appointed by the President for a term of office of five years. The
Chairman and Members shall be prominent persons genuinely interested in the promotion of land
reform.

2. The Board shall appoint an Executive Secretary who shall take charge of administering the
affairs of the Foundation and shall act as secretary to the Board.

3. The major divisions of the Foundation are: (1) Planning and Project Evaluation Division,
(2) Policy and Research Division, (3) Public Information Division, (4) Field Service Division, and (5)
Finance and Administrative Division.

4. The Foundation shall sponsor the organization of Land Reform Associations in various
municipalities, barrios and sitios. These local organizations, composed of prominent community
leaders, local government officials and civic-minded citizens, shall be the implementing arm of the
Foundation in the pursuit of its objectives.

5. The Foundation shall, at a future date, establish a business corporation to undertake the
Foundation’s credit and resettlement operations which are profit-making in nature. Profits realized
by this business corporation shall be plowed back to the Foundation for its non-revenue producing
activities.

6. The financial requirements of the Foundation shall be met by donations from public and
private sectors of the community.

7. The overall objective of the Foundation is to promote the land reform movement in the
Philippines. Specifically, the objectives of the Foundation are:

422

OFFICIAL GAZETTE

MACAPAGAL | Volume 4

a. To undertake a nationwide dissemination of the advantages of land reform in order to gain
public acceptance of its objectives.

b. To encourage the participation of civic-spirited citizens and organizations and to channel these
into organized and concerted efforts for land reform.

c. To advocate improvements in the land reform law, government policies and the manner of
implementation of the land reform program and individual projects.

d. To represent the public conscience in matters pertaining to land reform.

e. To assist tenants and new owner-operators in obtaining the necessary government services and
assistance.

f. To undertake research and investigations on land reform and provide accurate information on
the progress and problems of land reform implementation in the country.

g. To provide such other assistance and services as particular situations may require, especially
those services where the private sector participation will have distinct advantages and where
government efforts may not be sufficient.

8. Immediate and future operations of the Foundation shall be undertaken with the view of
achieving in an organized and concerted manner the objectives of land reform.

Done in the City of Manila, this 29th day of December, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred
and sixty-five.
